Racing began at 12 o'clock to day with a 100 soya Plate, which Stanton, under waiting orders, put to his owner's credit in an easy fashion. The First and Second-class Wokinghams are generally good handicaps. h T a h m e fiarnstdof Olivia,them the fav our it e , Lobelia, was productive of a fine race between Durham run ning jady ; and the second Wall oon carr i e d o ff eas ily, nothing else being in the race — so t h e fi e ld ers b egan t h e day well. The interesting race of th e d ay was th e mee ti ng of Ely and the Derby victor in the Eleventh Triennial, for which the former had slightly the call at the close. Blair Athol certainly looked rather jaded, and as if he did not half like his work, rhile Ely, with a free bounding action, caused his backers to be rather contklent. He stopped, though, when Custanee called upon him, and Blair Athol won without being asked. He looked lighter than he did at Epsom, for which the work he has gone through lately is a sufficient reason. A great look both of sire and dam has the Derby hero, and he will in all probability grow into a magnificent animal. The new stake, the Alexandra Plate, was another great turn for the fielders, as Anglo-Saxon was overlooked by most of the clever ones ; one noble lord alone being 'cute enough to back hint for 6 g a century" at 25 to 1. Crisis was greatly fancied by the public, and she ran well, but Anglo Saxon won in a hollow etyle at last. There was an unusually large number of entries for the , Queen's Plate, but the runners were reduced to three— Caller Ou, Gibraltar, and Guerilla. It was 5 to 4 on the mare, but still many fancied that old Gibraltar could both outstay and outpace her. Custance acted up to this sug gestion and made strong running with Gibraltar along the Swinley bottom—but Challoner brought the mare up soon after passing the road, and, heading Gibraltar before they reached the stand, went in a very easy winner. Gibraltar highly pulled up very lame, and seemed much dist resse d. Th e other two events were of minor i m p ort ance e , u a ee n e d ee t fu h l e . great The majority hurri e d a way after this race. attendance, i' he meeting as wmus thave b e consideredb6foreraed, was as larg e , if on t h i o ily not larger, than at any previous anniversary. The Cup day was certainly unprecedented, and rarely, if ever, has there, we should imgine, been seen a more brilliant spectacle than the Royal Stand presented on that occasion. Some statistics of the racing may not be uninteresting. 386 horses contended for the 36 events spread over the four days, and for which there was neither a dead heat nor a walk over. The receipts of the stand were enormous, and a word must be added in justice to the exertions of Mr Careless, whose catering was, as usual, quite up to the heavy demands made upon it on Tuesday and Thursday. a ndupwards.

EXECUTION OF POMMERAIS, PARIS, Friday.--The execution of Dr. Conty do la Pommerais took place at six o'clock yesterday morning. Every night since Monlay crowds of people thronged the Place de la Roquette, and ro. mained until daybreak. Tusy desired to see the execution with their own eyes, and resolved to sacrifice their rest to their curiosity, particularly as there were rumours that a commutation of the sentence was probable. They egain went to the ground as early as nine o'clock on Wednesday evening, and took their station es before. The tide advanced every hour, and soon after the prison clock struck one their attention was roused by the rumbling sound of approaching carts. Any doubts they might have had were at once dissipated, for the carts were laden with the pieces of the instru rrent of punishment. As the night wore on the multitude grew more dense, and before five o'clock there could not have been less than 30,000 people of all classes. The bearing of many betrayed the feeling which urged them to the foot of the scaffold. An ignoble ballad, called " The com plaint of La Pommerais," had circulated for some days past in the streets of Paris. It was hummed, or drawled with others of the same style, close to the place of execution ; and the pastime was diversified with indecent jeste, which were received with loud laughter by many, and re proaches by a very few. Atter the fashion men, women, and boys passed the hours till every star had gone out, and the beams of morning fell on the walls of the prison. La Pommerais, who was not informed that his petition to the Emperor was rejected, but who had evidently lost all hope, seemed much more collected since his sentence than he had been during his trial. His father and wife were allowed to see him on Wednesday. The interview took place in the par. lour of the prison ; but they were separated by a double grating, through which they were just able to clasp each other's hands. The anguish of the old man and the poor creature who was so soon to he a widow was heartrending. She clung to the grating as if she would not be torn from it; her husband was more self-possessed. They lingered as long as they could, but at last the moment for parting came. The prisoner went to rest at the usual early hour, and still under the supervision of the prison officials; and he slept soundly the whole night. At half-past 5 in the morning the governor of the prison entered the cell. La Pommerais started up in his bed, and before ho had time to speak, the governor told him that'all hope was over; that the petition for mercy was not granted, that he must prepare for death, for his last hour was at hand. He evinced no surprise; he only said, "I am ready." In a few moments the chaplain of the gaol, the Abbe Croze, entered the cell. The guardians fell back a short distance, but not out of sight. The convict had previously several interviews with the Abbe, confessed his sins, and, it is said, received the sacraments—but what he confessed will remain a secret for ever. When the priest made his appearance La Pommerais rose to meet him, and threw himself into his arms. He had hitherto been unmoved, but as the reverend gentleman clasped him to his breast he shed tears. While undergoing the last preparation, in which the hair is cut close at the back of the head, he listened apparently with attention to the exhortations of the chaplain, and the prayer for those about to die. When all was ready he was asked to take some re freshment, but declined. Before he quitted the cell the head of the Department of Public Security asked him whether he had any disclosures to make, or whether he wished to say anything. "I have said all I had to say," was the reply. These were his last words, and from that moment ho answered only by a nod of the head to any re mark that was made by those about him. The gate of the prison was thrown open at a few minutes to 6, and the crowd outside became sud denly silent. La Poi/morals, with a paletot thrown over his shoulders, was seen to mount the steps of the scaffold, supported on one side by the Abbe Croze, who held up the crucifix before his eyes, and on the other by one of the gaolers. The cord which bound his feet did not prevent him from moving, and he advanced with a steady step, but with his head bent, towards the fatal instrument. He paused for an instant, once more embraced the priest, gave himself up to the executioner, and was laid on the plank. The cord that held the machine wee cut, the ponderous blade rushed down, and PRICE ..4d. STAMPED ....sd. exactly as the prison clock gave the last stroke of six human justice and the inhuman curiosity of the mob were satisfied. The headless body was placed in a coffin, and the , coffin in a carriage. The good priest who stood by his side to the last moment of his life did not quit him in death. He entered the carriage containing ' the coffin, and, still praying over it, accompanied it to the cemetery, and saw it laid in the earth. The curiosity of the people did not end with the execution ; they rushed towards the spot where the cirriage wood or to the scaffold, in order to touch the boards, and it required all the tint-is of the large body of police and of the Mounted Paris Guards to keep them at a distance and maintain order. Though the deed was over, the crowds lingered some time on the spot, and the morning was far advanced before they retired. Had Pommerais' sentence been commuted, the penalty of death must have disappeared altogether from the Code. Now that the wretched man has paid the penalty of the crime of which he was found guilty, not to speak of others of which it is said there were strong suspicions, I may say that public opinion was unanimous as to his guilt. The humanitarians themselves, who are trying to get up a movement for the abolition of capital punishment, have not a word to say for this man. Among all classes the conviction is the same —that he had committed a foul murder under cir cumstances most aggravating, and for vile purposes. A commutation in his favour would have roused bad blood among the lower classes. They knew that only a few days ago a butcher's boy who had mur dered a man at Versailles, and mutilated the body of his victim to conceal his crime, suffered death on the scaffold. Were mercy shown to one who had far less to plead in his favour, it would have been attributed to his position in society ; and not a working man in France but would have said that the one had no mercy shown him because he wore a blouse; while the other escaped the guillotine because he spoke and dressed like a gentleman. The Emperor's kindness of heart would have in clined him, had there been any fair pretext, to save the criminal from the ignominy of a public execution, out of regard to the prayers of the father and the tears of the wife. But the fact that the jury, who are ever ready to avail themselves of a trifle to add the saving clause to their verdict, de tected not a single extenuating circumstance; that the Court of Cessation, after long and anxious de liberation, absolutely negatived his appeal ; that only a minority of the jury would sign the petition in his behalf; and that the majority of the Minis ters urged that the law should take its course, made it impossible for the Emperor to act otherwise. The prisoner's counsel, M. Lachaud, exerted himself greatly after the sentence was pronounced. As I have already mentioned, he had an audience both of the Empress and the Emperor. The Empress, who listened to the supplications, shed tears while she heard the wife's story, but nothing could be done to justify disturbing the verdict or the deci sion of the Superior Court. The commutation of the sentence on La Pommerais would, I repeat, have been followed by the abolition of the penalty of death, and the guillotine would have disappeared from France for ever. Of the origin and history of this famous instru ment of punishment an erroneous idea generally prevails. The popular version is that it was in vented in 1785 by Joseph Ignatius Guillotin, an eminent physician, and deputy for Paris in the Con stituent Assembly. This is not correct. An instru ment differing from the guillotine only in its heavy and cumbrous construction already existed in Icaly. It was known in Genoa by the name of manunja, and it was by that manuaja that Beatrice Cenci was beheaded at ROM 2 in 16U5. The maiden, an instrument not unlike the guillotine, was long known in Scotland, and. it was employed on the Regent Morton, who is said to have introduced it. It was used; also, in Halifax, Yorkshire, in the reign of Q,..teen Rizlbeth. The Dike of Mon tmo• reney was beheaded at Toulouse in 1632 oith the manuopz. All that Dr. Guillotin, who was a man well known for his humanity, had to do with the matter, was preparing the draught of a law in the Consti tuent Assembly, in 1789, to the effect that the mode of inflicting death on criminals should be the same for all alike, without distinction of nobles or ple beians; in fact, that it should be uniform. Before the Revolution of 1789 the inequality that existed during life was maintained in death ; the noble was beheaded, the villain hung from the gallows. But the inequality was a trifling grievance in compari son with the cruelty which accompanied the exe cution. There was the stake and faggot for those convicted of sacrilege or heresy; the tearing from limb to limb by horses for regicide; the breaking on the wheel, with the additional refinements of barbarity for crimes of other descriptions. Railway and Public Companies in Parlia- ment. Further evidence in favour of the East London Railway occupied the committee on metropolitan railways yesterday, Mr Bowley, manager of the Crystal Palace, being examined in its behalf. He appeared to be of opinion that the proposed line would furnish facilities to the vast population of the east end of London, in connection with the fresh air and scenery of Sydenham, and the at tractions of the Crystal Palace, and stated that since the Palace had been opened, now for some 8 or Q years, upwards of 15 million people and visited it. Mr Durke, the engineer of the line, was also examined at cou.;derable length. The case for the Stonehouse and Nansworth Railway was opened. It proposes to run from thtli Qtation at D unbridge to the Great Western west of Stroud, to raise £27,000 by extension shares and .£9,000 by loan, to attach a preferentia l dividend to unissued shares to the amount of £20,000 in the company's autho rised capital of £66,000, and to contract with the Great Western and Midland to work i t.

" 124, High.street, Oxford, June 4. " My Lord,—Several newspapers during the pax t week have contained a report of a dinner of a Uni versity Conservative Association, which took plea e in Oxford, on Saturday, May 2S. I find there that after your lordship's health had been proposed in - a speech which dwelt on your position as leader of the Conservative party in the country, the toast was responded to by Dr. Wyrt , :r, President of Sr. John's College, as Chancellor's Secretary. " I do not know whether your lordship's atten tion has been called to this fact ; but 1 can hardly' doubt that you must regard it with disapprobation.- " An association to promote the objects of one or the parties in the University may be desirable or undesirable, but at any rate it is capable of defen co. But it would surely be indefensible if it utternp• bed. to claim the patronage of one who, as Chancellor of the University, is charged with the interests of th e whole acadena',cal body, not of this or that party . Yet this is what is virtually done, when one who i 3 paid by the University as an official of the Chan. • cellor speaks in that capacity at a dinner of an avowedly party character. • "Your Lordship has shown more than once of late, by your guarded language in discussing Uni versity matters in the House of Lords, that you re gard your position as head of the University 715 quite separable from your position as head of ti le Conservative party in the country. Surely tl ie same distinction should hold good in the case of your Official Secretary. Whatever may be his privis to opinions on University politics, in his connection with your Lordship as Chancellor's Secretary, his duties are to the University as a whole, not to one of its parties. "I will only add that, as the retort to which. I have called your Lordship's attention is public, it may be necessary to publish this letter, together with any answer with which your Lordship ma y favour me. "I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your Lordship's obedient humble servant, " 3 . 011 N CONINGTON. "I shall send a copy of this letter to Dr. Wyntor. "To the Earl of Derby, &c." "St. James's-square, June 5, 1864. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the re ceipt of your letter of yesterday, in which you call my attention to the fact that at a recent ' dinner of a University Conservative Association' my health was proposed in my political character, and re sponded to by Dr. Wynter, President of St. John's College, as Chancellor's Secretary;' and you ex press no doubt but that I must regard this fact with disapprobation.' I confess that lam unable to follow you to this conclusion. " I may premise that neither had I any previous notice of the intention of having such a dinner, nor have I, since it has taken p'ace, had any intimation given to me respecting it, except that which I have derived from the public press and from your letter. " You do me justice in inferring from my guarded language in discussing University matters in the House of Lords, that I regard my position as head of the University as quite separable from my position as head of the Conservative party in he country,' and I hope that as Chancellor I have never done anything to indicate a confusion in my own mind between the duties imposed upon me in these several capacities. But, on the other hand, I must claim for my Private Secretary the most entire liberty of expressing, in any way that he may think fit, his own personal views on public subjects; and while I rejoice that I have the political sympathy of a man so distin guished in the University as the President of St. John's, I cannot admit that his personal connexion with me rendered him an unfit exponent of my thanks (had I known of the fact) for the exprEssion of the Association as to my political conduct. You will, I am sure, allow me to remind 7c , u that the eificc of Private Secretary to the Chancellor of the University ie one of very long recognised standing, but that on the death of my predecessor the Duke of Wellington, the University declined to continue the salary; that D Wynter consequently accepted the office wholly iniependently of any obligation to the University, and as my Private Secretary without salary; and that, it was not till a consider , able time had elapsed that the University sane* tioned a greatly reduced salary, Cancellarii qui nutty est, seeretario.' As long as Dr. Wynter per.. forms his duties as Private Secretary to my satisfac. tion I do not claim for myself, still less can I admit to anyone assuming to speak on behalf of the Uni. varsity, the right of calling in question any expres sion of his political opinions ; and if, agreeing with me, my Private Secretary be present at a public meeting, there is nothing extraordinary in his take, ing on himself, in the absence of any one more intimately connected with me, the duty of acknow ledging the compliment paid to me.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, "Professor Conington. " P.S. You are at perfect liberty, in pursuance of your announced intention, to public this correspon.. dence." "DERBr.. " 124, High-street, Oxford, June 6. My Lord, —I beg to thank your Lordship for the very full explanation of your views, into which you h av e been so courteous as to e n t er, i n reply to m y letter of the 4th, at the same time that I regret to find that those views are not what I had ventured to predict. If I offer one or two additional remarks on the matter, I do so in justice to my own meaning, not with a wish to draw your lordship into further cc )r• respondence. " My position was, that while the Chancellor's Secretary is free to express his political sympathiE s in any Way he pleases, in his private character or ita any other public capacity, as Secretary he is limited by his relation to your lordship as Chancellor and to the University. _ " In support of this I took the liberty of appeal• ing to the distinction which your lordship appeared to recognise in your, own conduct between your academical and your political position. Your lord ship has had the goodness to assure me that I rightly appreciate your view of this distinction ; and your language evidently shows that so far from regarding it as arbitrary, to be observed or neglected at pleasure, you feel that to ignore it would indix cate a confusion between' different ' d uti es.' lam unable, then, to understand the g rounds on which you seem to claim a liberty for y our Se cretary as Secretary which you emphatically disclai m f or yourself as Cnancellor. He represents your Lord ship, not in your political, but in your noq-political o e l a s him self. involving your Lord s hi p i n a character: he cannot , it seems to me, rise as your non - po li t i ca l representative to acknowledge a poli ticalc,o,llifvutiiigin twithout regard to the office f between duties' as w Secretary, I am afraid of entering into details which might lead me awa y from the immediate object of this correspond ence_ I will, therefore, merely b o sorve that, as far as I have been informed (and I tools pains, when the question of salary was agitated two years ago, to obtain informal ion), the cessation of payment by th© University upended on the cessation of duties • itch had been abolished before the present Secretary was appointed. But I would respectfully submit that the receipt of a saleryfrom the University under whatever circumstances, places even v. Private Secretary in a relation to the Univer sity as weal as to the Chaneellcr, and entitles In t . tn .. hers of the University to comment on and thi ng i n his public conduct which they may think incon sistent with that position. And it simply as a member of the University, and not as aasuming to speak.' in any character which does not belong to me, that I have ventured to address your lordship.
